Toyota RAV4 (XA40) 2013-2018 Service Manual: Source voltage drop
Description
The srs is equipped with a voltage-increase circuit (dc-dc converter) in the center airbag sensor in case the source voltage drops.
When the source voltage drops, the voltage-increase circuit (dc-dc converter) functions to increase the voltage of the srs to a normal working level.
A malfunction in this circuit is displayed differently from other codes, in the fact that no dtcs are recorded. With a normal system code present, the source voltage drop is indicated when the srs warning light comes on.
A malfunction in this circuit is not recorded in the center airbag sensor .
The srs warning light automatically goes off when the source voltage returns to normal.
Wiring diagram
Inspection procedure
- Check wire harness (center airbag sensor assembly - battery)
- Turn the ignition switch off.
- Disconnect the negative (-) terminal cable from the battery, and wait for at least 90 seconds.
- Disconnect the e45 connector from the center airbag sensor .
- Connect the negative (-) terminal cable to the battery, and wait for at least 2 seconds.
- Measure the voltage of the wire harness side connectors.
Standard voltage 
- Check wire harness (center airbag sensor assembly - body ground)
- Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.
